How are you doing these days brother, long time no see. Well, the iPhone is really something very nice. Planning to buy one as soon as I got some green in my hands :) They say that in February it would be released world wide and no need anymore to unlock it. There is a guy here who will unlock it for 100 Q.R, ask someone from the states to get you one [400 US] only and just unlock it here. It means you will pay totally 1600 Q.R Max while they are selling that here for an am amazingly cheap price [2700 Q.R]. The phone won't update itself by itself, the updates you will get would be from iTune which will ask you every time if you want to download the latest updates. Just ignore it, cancel it an that is it.

Best Regards
